The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The Head of Neurosurgery Assists Nathalie Quinlan_1

Yuna Ullmer also followed the main force in, her entire body shrouded in surgical garb, standing in a huddle with several neurosurgeons to one side. Even through the protective shield, Nathalie Quinlan could see the skepticism in their eyes directed at herself.

But she didn’t care, quickly pulling on the surgical gloves made specifically for operations.

Only the weak cluster together to doubt someone they are unfamiliar with; anyone who has seen the vast world outside knows how large this world is, and what you haven’t seen doesn’t mean it’s unreasonable!

At this moment, the neurosurgery department head came over. He didn’t bother with the cold-eyed colleagues watching from the sidelines, asking Nathalie Quinlan, ”Do you need my help?”

”Yes, I do. Stand by and hand me things.”

”Alright, I’ll coordinate with you. Just let me know what you need,” said the department head, seemingly not at all feeling there was anything amiss with being an assistant to a high school girl, he stated it as a matter of course.

The other neurosurgeons looked at each other in disbelief, seeing in each other’s eyes the thought: The chief has gone mad!

It was more than madness; his current behavior was simply staggering, completely incomprehensible!

It was just an absurd request from a high school girl, yet he not only agreed to it but also acted as if she truly was an expert in this field.

Wasn’t Nathalie Quinlan just an inexperienced high school student, without even a college education? And there he was, a lead doctor with decades of experience in a top tertiary hospital, serving as her assistant on the operating table?!

Yuna Ullmer and the others couldn’t make sense of what he was doing, watching every move of the two people on the operating table with skeptical eyes, none willing to go over and lend a hand.

Nathalie Quinlan was completely focused on the operating table, first assessing Uncle Cagwin’s condition, her eyes darkening slightly.

A brain tumor compressing blood vessels + long-term anemia leading to malnutrition; his internal organs were also not in good condition. No disease, but due to his constant bedridden state without exercise, his heart’s blood-forming function was extremely poor, and his liver had some minor issues.

With his condition, both of his legs were already hanging over the edge of death’s door.

The reason he hadn’t fallen was probably related to having consumed Flesh Ganoderma; otherwise, the hospital would have notified of his critical condition, not sudden death.

”Bent hemostat.”

Someone handed her the instrument, and Nathalie used the hemostat to clamp down on the bleeding area of the ruptured vessel, cutting out the tumor from within the brain.

Her movements were smooth with not a single unnecessary gesture; watching her perform surgery was like witnessing a perfect artistic performance—a delight to the eye.

The neurosurgeons who thought she was just messing around, with the chief indulging her madness, were now staring, eyes wide, unable to look away.

What kind of joke was this?

A high school girl with craniotomy skills more skilled than these seasoned doctors from a top tertiary hospital, and the angles she used for the incisions were extremely tricky.

The textbooks never mentioned it was possible to operate from that specific position, but upon closer consideration, that spot was more precise and caused the least harm to the patient compared to the common craniotomy positions they’d learned!

”Tissue scissors.”

Nathalie Quinlan’s voice was hoarse.

Between the high-density examinations and the surgery today, she hadn’t drunk a single sip of water since morning, and everyone in the operating room was so focused on her hands that not a single person remembered to offer a swipe or a sip.

Uncle Cagwin’s health was too horrendous; even though she had managed to feed him a Small Pill before the surgery to hang onto life, his heart rate continued to drop.

”...Surgical tweezers for me, please.”

The department head’s eyes blazed with fervent light, following every single movement of Nathalie Quinlan’s surgery.

Among gasps from Yuna Ullmer, Nathalie Quinlan completely removed the tumor attached near the meninges.

This...

How could this be a high school student?

This high-level surgical technique was unheard of!
